The answer to improved munitions still is not to create a vehicle that is less maneuverable and less capable than comparable vehicles previously and currently in use.

Mobility, lethality, and situational awareness are all things that should be maximized, particularly when you can't count on armor to save you. In many ways, I would just as soon ditch the Stryker and use a bunch of Hummers on steroids for the mission it nominally fills, with some weapon systems specifically designed for that type of platform and mission. More and smaller targets make you harder to kill.
